Food was very mid for all meal types but the canned beer selection was excellent.

Drove 45 minutes to eat because their menu online showed numerous vegan options. Got there and staff said most of that not available. It can’t take that long to update your site. Waitstaff said they’ve mentioned to the owner to do that and it’s still not getting done. 😡

What happened to my favorite bar?!? Sylvia was the problem this particular night and how she was inappropriately managing the staff in front of the customers. We were there to watch the cubs playoff game and she gave numerous customers and other staff a hard time to change TVs to the cubs game! The owners need to know that people come to a SPORTS bar for an experience not. Step up your game and get back to your old standards of supporting your community and home teams! I saw three groups of people come and leave (their money lost) when they saw that a majority of the bars TVs didn’t have their home teams game on.
I am a disappointed, decade-plus long native to Bat 17. Sadly I won’t be back.

I used to be a regular at the original Bat location 15 years ago. I’m glad to see they’re still around and serving some of my favorite dishes. However the atmosphere at this location isn’t quite what it used to be. The bar almost feels like an afterthought where before it used to be the center of the place. No more beer towers? Classy jazz on the speakers? Bat 17 we hardly knew ye. Just feels a bit overly classy and boomer focused now versus what it was originally. Still love the food though and would still recommend. Here’s to another 15+ years.

Large menu and everything is very good. Nice place for a drink or meal.
The rueben egg rolls were fabulous! Our server was super pleasant (and good looking). Very prompt not pushy my kind of a late lunch. Thank you!

Just a horrible experience. Server and bartender tried, but restaurant was so understaffed it resulted in a miserable experience. Waited ten minutes to be seated. Waited another 20 minutes to be greeted. Waited over an hour for food, which somehow managed to be both cold and dried out from the heat lamp, likely a lack of runners. I was polite but made it clear we weren’t having a positive experience. No manager to be found, staff felt overwhelmed and helpless. What a sad experience because we were really looking forward to eating here.
I hope management reaches out to rectify this situation and, even more so, never puts their staff in a situation to massively disappoint customers again without some type of resolve. You knew you set them up for failure, why weren’t you on site to help?

We were sat down and did not receive water or a waiter/waitress to take our order for almost half an hour until we went up to the bar to ask for it. After we ordered, we noticed many people sat after us got their food before us, and we eventually left because it took so long. They blamed the service on a private party which is inexcusable! They should’ve compensated us for the beer.

Excellent burgers. You have to order the Reuben Eggrolls as an appetizer! They are to die for!
